Catalogue of H-alpha emission stars in the Northern Milky Way

L. Kohoutek - R. Wehmeyer

 

 

 

An interesting research project will start in late 2010, early 2011: a team of observers, in collaboration with the Asiago Astronomical Observatory will begin a series of photometric measurements on stars with strong H-alpha emission

 

 

The "Catalogue of Stars in the Northern Milky Way Having H-alpha in Emission" appears in Abhandlungen aus der Hamburger Sternwarte, Band XI in the year 1997. It contains 4174 stars

 

 

Not only photometric measurements but also the acquisition of spectra of objects

 

 

In recent months (summer 2010) we are defining the targets and completing the briefings to members of the team
